Arne Slot has enjoyed a dream start to his tenure at Liverpool. The team has won 17 of their 19 matches this season, sitting at the top of both the Premier League table and their Champions League group.
After a confidence-boosting victory against Champions League holders Real Madrid, Slot’s squad is gearing up for a high-stakes Premier League clash with Manchester City this weekend.
Alongside competing for silverware, Slot is also focused on strengthening his squad during the January transfer window.
Liverpool’s only major summer signing was Federico Chiesa from Juventus, but reports from *GiveMeSport* suggest the club is now eyeing Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson.
Despite Manchester City also being linked with the player, Liverpool plans to test Fulham’s willingness to hold on to their star defender.
The Reds have struggled at left-back this season, with Andy Robertson underperforming. The Scottish international gave away a penalty against Real Madrid and has not been meeting the high standards expected by Liverpool and Slot.
This has intensified the club’s interest in Robinson, who may find the prospect of playing in the Champions League and competing for the Premier League title too tempting to resist.
Fulham is reportedly set to demand £40 million for Robinson, a fee they hope will deter Liverpool. However, the Reds are confident they can secure the signing and see him as a valuable addition to their defense.
With Robinson under contract at Fulham for over three years, the club remains determined to keep him, but Liverpool’s financial resources could give them the edge over Manchester City.
In addition to Robinson, Liverpool has also received encouraging news in their pursuit of Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, further bolstering their plans for the future.
